Resumo
A confiança é um conceito abrangente, estando ligado a uma conceção positiva da
vida, e que influencia tanto a vida pessoal, profissional ou académica.
Esta investigação de natureza transversal estudou os fatores associados à confiança
generalizada na população adulta. Amostra de conveniência, não probabilística constituída
por 257 participantes, maioritariamente do género feminino (n=131; 51%), solteiros (as)
(n=151; 58,8%), católicos (n=142; 55,3%) e caucasianos (as) (n=245; 95,3%).
Os participantes apresentavam uma média de idades de 34,34 anos (DP=12,19), que variaram
entre os 18 e os 65 anos, e uma média de anos de escolaridade de 14,29 anos que variaram
entre 7 e 22 anos.
Foi utilizado o protocolo de investigação desenvolvido por Baptista e Almeida (2013),
tendo sido utilizado os seguintes instrumentos: General Trust Scale (GTS), Termómetro da
Felicidade, Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS), Flourishing Scale (FS) e Scale of Positive
and Negative Experience (SPANE).
O florescimento humano, significativamente superior nas mulheres (M=45.71;
DP=5.11) quando comparada com o género masculino (M=44.34; DP=5.95) (t (255)= -1.978;
p=.049). No género masculino a associação entre a Experiência de Afetos Positivos e o
Florescimento Humano revelou-se forte e significativa (r=.660, p<.001), assim como a
associação entre a Experiência de Afetos Positivos e a Felicidade no Último Mês (r=.628,
p<.001). No género feminino, a associação entre a Experiência de Afetos Positivos e a
Felicidade no Último Mês revelou-se forte e significativa (r=.638, p<.001). A confiança
generalizada é predita no género masculino pelo florescimento humano e no género feminino
pelos Afetos Positivos.
Its a comprehensive concept, being related to a positive conception of life, that influences as much personal, professional or academic lives. This investigation of crosscutting nature intended to comprehend the associated factors of general trust in the adult population. Non-probabilistic sample of convenience represented by 257 participants, being mainly female (n=131; 51%), single (as) (n=151; 58,8%), catholics (n=142; 55,3%) and caucasians (as) (n=245; 95,3%). The participants had an average age of 34,34 years (DP=12,19), that varied between 18 to 65 years of age, and a medium years of scholarship of 14,29 that diversed between 7 and 22. The protocol of the investigation used was the one developed by Baptista and Almeida (2013), where the following measuring instruments were used: General Trust Scale (GTS), Happiness Thermometer, Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS), Flourishing Scale (FS) and Scale of Positive and Negative Experience (SPANE). The human flourishing is significatively superior in females (M=45.71; DP=5.11) when compared with male gender (M=44.34; DP=5.95) (t (255)= -1.978; p=.049). In male gender the association between the positive experience and human flourishing proved to be strong and significant (r=.660, p<.001), as well as the association between the positive experience and satisfaction in the past month (r=.628, p<.001). Whereas in the female gender, association between the positive experience and satisfaction in the past month proved to be strong and significant (r=.638, p<.001). Comprehensive trust is predicted in the male gender by human flourishing and in the female gender by positive experiences.
